Rapper Eve may have been gone for a minute from the rap game, but there is still no doubt that the Philly born raptress is one female that can hold her own on the mic. Eve’s debut album ‘Ruff Ryders’ First Lady’ was a classic one as far as music heads are concerned as her raw lyrics were accompanied by sounds courtesy of Swizz Beatz. After having much success as a member of the Ruff Ryders clique, Eve took a break from making music and channeled more of her attention to her love life as she started up a romance with multimillionaire Maxmillion Cooper that has been going strong for some years now, rumors even going around about Eve supposedly being pregnant by Maxmillion. During Eve’s hiatus, the female rap game has been dominated by Young Money’s leading lady Nicki Minaj, who has managed to take her career beyond the music industry.
Even though Nicki Minaj has the Barbs and Kens of the world loving her at the moment, Lil’ Kim still very much thinking Nicki jacked her style and that she is responsible for Nicki’s success, there are those from the older crowd who are longing for the days when there was more than one female rapper out that was on top, doing their thing. Lil’ Kim just announced that she has a new album on the way that is set to drop this summer. And Eve is now back at it too, the rapper looking to drop her first album in 11 years ‘Lip Lock’ this month, Eve’s fourth studio album set to be released on May 14. And she’s giving her fans a taste of what she has in store for them with her upcoming album, releasing self-titled single ‘Eve’ ft. Miss Kitty.
Peep Eve’s new track ‘Eve’ ft. Miss Kitty. Is she back?
Still sick. Welcome back Eve.
Love it. I missed her!
YES!!!!
Yo she sounds great! Snatch those wigs Eve!
I don’t like that she took shots at Nicki at the beginning but this is a dope song and she went hard. Props. I always loved her.
Well maybe she can make Nicki step her game up. 🙂
Oh here you go…
Barbee you know I love you boo but come on, Nicki dissed ALL the female rappers when she first came out. It’s only fair that Eve snatches her wig off in two bars.
Disses are part of rap. All emcees get on the mic and say they are the best. Rap is an arrogant genre of music. That’s why I’m not mad at Eve for shading Nicki. I get it. I’m just saying I wasn’t a fan of that.
SLAYED.
Nicki. This is your cue now to take a stadium of seats. The REAL female rappers are coming back and they are pissed at how stupid you have managed to make female rappers look with your weak lyrics.
What? They should thank her for holding it down and being a success since all of them decided to take these decade long breaks. I don’t get the hate people have for her. Nicki is dope and she can out-rap most of the men in the business. Stop trippin.
She’s holding it down? How? She made a mockery out of female rappers!
She can out rap most men? You sure about that?
Nicki is not a rapper she is a gimmick. Her fans like her, great for them. Welcome back Eve
I support her! We need her!
Janelle, Erykah, and Eve! Man, today has been a dope day for music. It’s great to see REAL WOMEN back on the scene. Lord knows we need them.
Real women? Nicki isn’t a real woman? She isn’t known for tramping it out, works hard, has talent, and uses her money to take care of her family. That’s a real woman. You guys are terrible when it comes to her. It’s unnecessary.
I commend her for taking care of her fam, but image wise, she’s not REAL. The cartoonish/clownish image she has makes it hard for me to take her seriously.
Somebody hug Barbee and hand her a drank. She’s doing it again. LOL.
Eve just buried Nicki. LOL!
Eve went off like I expected her to. She’s back like cooked crack.
Eve!!!! Yes. Some real s@#t
